"Your move," Gray said with a smirk, sitting back and crossing his arms.
Natsu surveyed the chess board nervously. He had only taken it up recently, and Gray was teaching him. Well, more like insisting on playing a game every day until Natsu finally beat him. Of course, Natsu doubted that would ever happen.
Picking up a piece and placing it on the board, Gray grinned and said, "Checkmate."
Natsu sighed and sat back. "Dammit. I'm never going to win."
"You're probably right," Gray said, beginning to reset the board.
"Hey!"
"Hey, I'm just telling the truth!"
Natsu sighed angrily and crossed his arms, pushing back his chair. "I'm going for a walk."
A sudden boom shook the house, and Natsu gulped, looking out the window. A few clear drops splattered against the glass, and hundreds more followed it, then thousands, turning the splatter into a downpour.
"So much for that walk," Gray said, raising an eyebrow as he got up to put the board away. Natsu sighed and walked into the living room, flopping down on the couch. He hated rain, especially when it was as heavy as this. It usually meant two things; no sunshine and warmth, and no doing anything fun.
After a while Gray padded into the room and knelt in front of Natsu, grinning. "Want to build a pillow fort?"
"Hell yes," Natsu said immediately, leaping to his feet.
They gathered up all the pillows they could and gathered them in a pile in the living room. Natsu shoved the couch back against the far wall and Gray started constructing the walls by using chairs and blankets. Natsu helped him, and after they had finished, they started adding pillows as reinforcement, creating little rooms and such in the fort, until they had themselves a decent little house.
Gray sighed and sat down in the middle, largest room of the fort, and Natsu joined him. They leaned back and surveyed their work, giving the place an approving nod. "I like it," Natsu said, smiling.
"I would like it a whole lot more if we were kissing," Gray said, raising an eyebrow and smiling mischievously.
Natsu rolled his eyes. "You want to make out in a pillow fort in the middle of a downpour?"
"Yes."
Natsu rolled his eyes again but smiled slightly. "Fine."
As Gray trapped Natsu in a cage of limbs, the Dragon Slayer smiled inwardly. Maybe there were some fun things to do in a rainstorm.
